A series of manganese corroles bearing different substituents had been prepared and characterized by UV–vis, ¹H NMR, ¹⁹F NMR, HRMS and XPS. These manganese corrole complexes were applied to electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) for the first time. The results showed that manganese corroles are effective catalysts for HER in DMF solvent by using acetic acid (AcOH), trifluoroacetic Acid (TFA) and p-toluenesulfonic acid (TsOH) proton sources, and strong acid leads to higher electrocatalytic activity. When using TsOH as proton source, protonation of corroles ligand may be involved in HER. The electrocatalytic HER activity can be improved by increasing the electron-withdrawing substituent of the corrole macrocycle in both organic and aqueous media.

制备了一系列带有不同取代基的锰咯咯，并通过紫外-可见、¹ H NMR、¹⁹ F NMR、HRMS 和 XPS 对其进行了表征。这些锰咔咯络合物首次应用于电催化析氢反应（HER）。结果表明，以乙酸（AcOH）、三氟乙酸（TFA）和对甲苯磺酸（TsOH）质子源，锰咯咯是DMF溶剂中HER的有效催化剂，强酸导致更高的电催化活性。当使用 TsOH 作为质子源时，咔咯配体的质子化可能参与 HER。通过增加有机和水性介质中咯咯大环的吸电子取代基，可以提高电催化 HER 活性。
